Products and services

• Cardiovascular Services Comprehensive cardiovascular care including diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management of heart and vascular conditions delivered by board-certified cardiologists representing every sub-specialty of cardiology.
• TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement performed through catheter insertion as an alternative to open-heart surgery, used for adult patients with severe aortic valve disease. CVI cardiologists had completed over 200 TAVR procedures by 2022.
• WATCHMAN Procedure Minimally invasive catheter procedure that implants a device in the left atrial appendage to reduce stroke risk in atrial fibrillation patients who cannot tolerate long-term blood thinners.
• EECP Therapy for Chronic Angina Enhanced external counterpulsation therapy, a non-invasive office treatment used to improve blood flow and relieve symptoms in patients with chronic angina.
• LINQ Heart Monitor Implant Office-based insertion of a Reveal LINQ insertable cardiac monitor that wirelessly tracks heart rhythms for up to three years, used for long-term arrhythmia monitoring under local anesthetic.
• Vein Ablations Endovenous laser therapy for varicose veins, a minimally invasive ultrasound-guided alternative to traditional vein stripping, with a 94.5% successful clinical outcome rate at five years.
• Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation Cardiac electrophysiology procedures including cryoablation and pulsed field ablation (FARAPULSE) that treat atrial fibrillation by blocking irregular heart rhythms using non-thermal electric fields that are tissue-selective.
• Renal Denervation Minimally invasive catheter-based procedure that denervates the renal arteries to lower blood pressure in patients with uncontrolled hypertension.
• Cardiovascular Surgical Institute Outpatient Cath Lab Ambulatory surgery center providing outpatient interventional cardiovascular and vascular procedures, including the practice's peripheral vascular and laser atherectomy programs, outside of a hospital setting.
• Heart Failure Clinic Chronic disease management program that provides monitoring, management, and education to help heart failure patients stay healthy and avoid hospitalization.
• EKG/ECG Diagnostic Testing Electrocardiogram diagnostic test measuring heart beat regularity and electrical activity to check for signs of heart problems, determine heart chamber size, and detect damage.
• Nuclear Stress Testing Advanced nuclear camera-based cardiac imaging used to identify coronary heart blockages, producing images in less than half the time of conventional cameras with significantly reduced radiation exposure.
• Cardiac PET CT Imaging Non-invasive advanced cardiac imaging using PET CT technology for stress testing, providing detailed diagnostic information for coronary artery disease assessment.
• Vascular Services Diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases including peripheral arterial disease, carotid artery stenting, and vascular ultrasound imaging for adult patients in Northwest Florida.
• Diamondback 360 Orbital Atherectomy FDA-approved orbital sander device with diamond coating used to remove calcified plaque in coronary arteries, enabling treatment of hardened blockages that standard balloon procedures cannot address.
• Impella Heart Pump World's smallest heart pump inserted via catheter to support heart function during high-risk cardiac procedures, keeping blood pumping while opening blockages.
• Transradial Cardiac Catheterization Cardiac catheterization procedures performed through the wrist (transradial access) rather than the groin, improving patient comfort and recovery times with same-day discharge options.
• Electrophysiology Services Cardiac electrophysiology diagnostics and treatments for heart rhythm disorders including atrial fibrillation, arrhythmias, and rhythm monitoring delivered by the practice's electrophysiologists.
• TeleVisit Video Appointments Video visit appointments accessible via smartphone or computer, allowing established patients to consult cardiologists remotely using the Healow platform.
• Clinical Trials Program Participation in national clinical studies including CREST-2 stroke prevention research, CHAMP-HF heart failure study, and ARTEMIS antiplatelet effectiveness study, giving patients access to investigational cardiovascular therapies.
• Peripheral Vascular Procedures at Surgical Institute Peripheral vascular interventions performed at the Cardiovascular Surgical Institute utilizing laser atherectomy to treat calcified blockages in peripheral arteries.

Broad incumbents

• Cleveland Clinic Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute: National reference cardiovascular program offering the full spectrum of cardiovascular care including advanced structural heart and EP. Relevant as a benchmark for clinical scope and as a competitive talent/brand pull factor, although not directly comparable in scale or ownership.
• Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute: Regional heart and vascular institute within Atrium Health (Charlotte, NC) offering the full spectrum of cardiology services including TAVR, EP, and advanced imaging. Comparable in clinical scope but operates as part of a larger integrated delivery system rather than as an independent practice.

Direct peers

• Virginia Cardiovascular Specialists: Independent cardiology specialty practice in the mid-Atlantic offering full-service cardiovascular care including interventional, EP, vascular, and imaging. Similar scale and physician-owned model make it a useful size and operating benchmark.
• Texas Heart & Vascular: Independent multi-location cardiovascular specialty group in Texas offering diagnostic, interventional, and vascular cardiology. Comparable in private multi-site specialty cardiology model and physician-ownership structure.
• Austin Heart: Large independent cardiology specialty group in Central Texas providing comprehensive cardiovascular care including interventional, EP, imaging, and vascular services. Closely comparable to CVI in model (independent specialty cardiology group) and multi-site structure.
• Cardiovascular Institute of the South: Physician-owned multi-specialty cardiovascular practice based in Louisiana with comprehensive interventional, EP, and vascular services across multiple sites. Closely comparable in service mix, scale, and regional Gulf South footprint; one of CVI's own interventional cardiologists completed advanced endovascular training there.

Regional players

• Cardiology Associates of Savannah: Southeast-based cardiology group providing comprehensive cardiovascular care across multiple subspecialties. Comparable in regional scale and independent group model serving a mid-sized metropolitan catchment.
• Cardiology Associates of North Mississippi: Regional cardiology specialty practice affiliated with North Mississippi Health Services, covering diagnostic, interventional, and EP services. Comparable in regional Southeast footprint and service breadth.
• Cardiology Associates of Mobile: Multi-physician cardiology group serving the Alabama Gulf Coast. Comparable in regional Southeast positioning and independent practice model, with similar cardiology sub-specialty coverage.

Others

• Healow (eClinicalWorks telehealth platform): Enabling technology partner rather than a clinical peer. CVI uses Healow to deliver TeleVisit video appointments; relevant as the platform supporting CVI's telehealth channel rather than as a competitor.
